Uhh...why are they "wild" tench? Do they have tame ones which are easier to catch? And isn't April in the closed season?

...great video! So... who upkeeps these "pegs" and where does the money go that anglers pay to fish? Is it possible to obtain a fishing license and fish any body of water in the UK or are many areas "managed" with a "fishing system" such as these pegs etc etc? Curious how it works

Can I ask what the rod bag is please Rob?

Great video as always thank you. Can I just ask what weight feeder do you need there. I know it depends a lot on the conditions but as an average what would you recommend TIA

Awesome fishing pal! 🔥 Tench fishing is so much fun!

They serve a killer breakfast there too. Took me 3 attempts to finish it off.

Great video mate, I regularly fish this part of monkmoor had some cracking barbel from that stretch 👍

Brilliant, just ordered some of those rods, mainly for float fishing for carp with a centre pin and also for surface fishing 👍👍👍. You don't need broom stick rods for carp.

Mate, watching that Arapaima scrap took me back! You had me reliving hookpulls in swims 16 and 2 so I know how you feel... gutted but elated and you're right - that's fishing! That's the buzz. Tom and Ollie are legends it's an awesome place!

rob when you mention fluoro hooklength what is it you use ?what make i mean

Hi Rob, love your videos. Great fish! 👍 Ive seen on another comment you say this is Atcham area. I wonder if u have a video that shows this area and how to get to it like you did with the coalport one. Im a returning newbie. I used to do quite a bit of River Severn fishing for Barbel when i was a kid (10-12) and used to go with a group of chaps (family friends) unfortunately i no longer have contact with them and all i remember is sometimes we used to go Atcham and sometimes over Monkmoor?? I hope i have got that right. It was back in the days when most places were day ticket. If you have a video that shows either of these places, parking, how to get to the spots that would be brilliant. Id love to come back and do a spot of fishing on the river again. Tight lines!

What do you think of those new 3K Allrounders? I know they are only £50 rods but when i looked at one in my local shop they seemed very hefty for a pound and quarter rod.

What happened to the closed season

Great session Rob. Well done mate.

Great work btw. Keep it up.

Morning Rob, Am I mistaken, but did you have videos showing a lot more venues with parking etc?

Nice looking canal rob well done

Looks much more like a Fenland Drain (Off the Old River Nene to be a little more exact, without being too exact)

nice if there was info on how you got there and who to arrange the dayvtrip fishing…im in may

Well done Rob what canal was it

I had a bag of tench on a local pool. The swim was close to power lines - I can see you are close to some power lines too? Any connection?

Where are you Rob looks fab

nice fish Rob,pity the weather still sucks....nice looking canal that.

Hey rob ! What weight was your olivet in relation to your feeder weight? U are one of a few who is really passionate & genuine, look forward to the float & quiver approach on the canal !

Hi rob Where abouts on the severn is this?

just a fantastic session Rob very well done sir. What is about tench yah just gotta love em.

Well done rob

Lovely stuff Rob and some perfect looking tench. That canal looks huge, the widest part of my canals are turning basins and they still don’t look that wide 😮

Nice video Rob … is that the Exeter Canal? If it is I’m the wrong side of the country Lovely looking fish … most of the smaller fish near me are carrying cormorant scars which is a shame

I'm still interested in what you do. I don't need any excuses Rob! I've done my 40 years stuck in an office. It's my time now while I'm still fit enough! 😅

It's good you're highlighting this. Sadly though there are none in Dorset! 🤣

How nice to see someone fishing away from commercially run, overstocked pools. Well done Rob. Excellent video. Good information in there as usual. 👍

Brilliant day , what stretch was that rob

Good to see that our canals are in a better state than our rivers. Do you ever fish at night for Tench?, as in my experience, you could catch four or five times as many after dark. Nonetheless, what a great way to spend a couple of hours, well done.🎣🎣

Some lovely Tench but it's surprising what's in our canals that not many people fish these days which is a shame..but not sure if you have watched the Guru's fishing channel of under water footage of how fish react amazing and fascinating to watch 👍

Great session 👍 lovely condition tench 👍 tight lines Rob

More Tench fishing please Rob, lovely spring fish

Great video. 👍 seem a bit close to those overhead wires, stay safe 🙏

Cracking vid pal 👌 I wish my local canals looked like that

Great stuff bud, proper early tenching success! I don't know about you, but I've more than had enough of fishing in mud, my kit is absolutely filthy all of the time and I'm right fed up of cleaning it. This winter has been the worst I can remember. I was supposed to be having my first tench session today, but my club lake flooded really bad last night. One of the carp lads woke up at 2 am to see his shoes floating in 8 inches of water in his bivvy!

Can you send the location if this place Nate I would like to go and try it out

Hi Rob, well done on the end of season cracking barbel! I’m a BAA member and I have the 2023 BAA Guide to Waters and I cannot equate their map of the Northwood section with your walk along the stretch. The map seems to show the car park right next to the river further up Northwood Lane?

哥们，牛逼

Can't you just move out there ive loved these videos 😂 Thanks for sharing mate 👍

What a video i bet you loved e every minute of that apart from letting the fish go before his photo 😂 well done 👏 what a place

Hi rob! Would you be tempted into fishing the teme at Bransford bridge when the rivers re-open? Would be interested in your approach to the smaller rivers. Tight lines!

Can you get day tickets here

I lost my first arapaima there 2016 was 50 kilo around dinner time then landed my second just befor the end of the shift 75 kilo 1 hour fight

Another good vlog, thank you for sharing, nice to see the pegs car parks and accessibility. Cracking barbel well done .. Would be great if you could do the same on STF waters like monkmoor enjoy the stillwater fishing 😊

HI @RobsAngling so after watching all your vidoes I went and had a walk along Apley and Quatford stretches as ive never been to a river before but interested to start when the season opens. Apley only seemed to have 4ish safe fishable swims from what i could see, I parked by the farmers gate and went left of the entrance down towards the private property at the end, did i miss some other part of this stretch? and Quatford had about 14ish accessible safe swims from Tonys diner through both meadows, at the end i came to pebble path with some sort of barn at the top on the left and didnt go any further as it looked private, is that the end of the BAA water do you know?. Do the BAA ever come out and fix swims make them safe and trim/remove bushes/dead trees/debris? Thank you.
